GENTLEMEN This past summer
my wife was away on a two
months visit. On her return home
she had a wretched cold, which,
growing worse, caused me to call in
a physician. He attended her
several weeks without bene fitting
her. She, knowing the splendid
effect S. S. S. had on me, determin'
ed to test it in her case. AT that
time she had copious and disagree
able discharges from the left nos
tril. Before the first bottle OF 5.
s. s. was used up she was much
better, and a few additional bottles
set her all right.
1t il remarkable that S. S. s.
is good for colds and sore threats.
A few months ago, | was troubled
occasionally with my throat from
preaching. | carried bottle OF
Swift's Speriic with me on the cir.

irritated and annoyed me 1 would

sympathize with every good effort,

to every useful plan, even though
it's methods are new. They "ill

Sunday.schOols and Gospel meet
ings have no place in the church
because the apostles did not use
them, and they we're not known in
their own childhood. On the con-
trary they will mark Gods guiding
hand in all moral, and religious,
and secular, and social progress,
and delight to see Him using new
methods to work out His own wise
plants, and enlisting new energies
in the development of the grand
results of His advancing Kingdom.
Thus they will show a faith that
honors God, and a jOyfulness in
theaccomplishment Of good through
means and channels which they
never knew. Age, thus tempered
with wisdom, Will restrain the
rashness of youth, it will impart
system and solidity to new enter
prises, guard social progress from
precipitancy and religion from mis-
taken zeal. The old man will be-
come the counsellor instead OF the
opponent OF all that is new and
also good; the patriarch's wisdom
will guide, while the tyro's zeal
gives impetus to every good cause.
The old mans word will be mighty,
his example will have weight, and
the good which he does in his last
days will be greater and more in
fuential than in any period of his
life.
Let the aged add to this sympa-
thy with true progress, the exercise
of a sweet and charitable temper.
There is no sadder sight than a
suspicious, jealous, mean old man
or woman. They are not often
seen, for such temper IS likely to
kill people before they grow old.
But how beautiful it IS to see an
aged woman relieving the destitute,
caring for the orphan, ministering
to the sick, teaching the ignorant (;
to heBr a gray.haired man defend
ing the oppressed, making peace
between those who have quarrelled,
defending the reputation OF one
who has been wrOnged, urging an
assembly to follow Justice rather
than passion, and right instead OF
interest By such examples we
learn how age used Alright may
soften the heart and broaden the
charity and stimulate the beneh'
cence of the true disciple of Christ,
and that the wisdom and patience
and compassion taught by lifelong
experience is bearing rich fruit in
public and private minIstrations OF
mercy. 1t is like the glory of au-

Green Food for Hogs.

There is a growing tendency to
give hogs more green feed than
formerly. Because hogs are kept
in the pen, or not given a wide

A FATAL MISTAKE.

THE Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 2Sd, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that n Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with n slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by n peculiar indescribablc dis
trcss in the stomach, n feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unaDle 10 re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatlent's
life all operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence OF DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, Dr.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, Dr. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwcll of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in LAYING open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examln-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dlsmay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have n cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovercl that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects ola
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution flor
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been llv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roors, or SEIOEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made e1-
pressly for Dyspepsia or lndi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
\ teusive sale. =

best trotting and running stock west Of

will be a large number of people from
abroad in the city during the continuance
of the races, which are to hst three days.
F. W. L~afrentz, secretary of the Wyo-
ming Fair Association, stated yesterday
that he was in correspondence with the
Union Pacific officers regarding excursion
rates to and from Cheyenne during the
races and that he had been assured that
the company will, if it can consistently dc
SO, accede to the request that has been
made for this purpose. The fair grounds
are being put in first class condition and
the track will be all that could possibly be
desired for an occasion like this.
